Brazilian prison guards catch cat that slipped through the gate with escape tools taped to its body

The cat was caught New year's Eve with a cell phones, drill and small saws taped around its body

A penitentiary agent holding a cat with a package of tools and a mobile phone tied to its body at Luiz de Oliveira Souza prison located north of Brazil. The cat belonged to the prisoners and was frequently taken by relatives to their homes, returning to the prison on its own.

SAO PAULO — Look what the cat dragged in.

Guards at a Brazilian prison nabbed a white cat that slipped through the gate with a cell phone, drills, small saws and other contraband taped to its body.

Alagoas prison spokeswoman Cinthya Moreno says the cat was caught New Year’s Eve at the medium-security prison in the city of Arapiraca.

The O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper reported Saturday that all of the prison’s 263 inmates are suspects in the smuggling attempt, though a spokesperson said, “It will be hard to discover who is responsible since the cat does not speak.”
